Quartiere Gallaratese

The Gallaratese neighborhoods form a district in the northwest of Milan, about seven kilometers from the center. The residential area was designed in the mid-twentieth century by the architect Piero Bottoni to provide affordable housing with green spaces and good transit connections. Construction began in 1957 with the core area, Gallaratese G.1. More than sixty architects under the direction of Gianluigi Reggio then refined the original plan. The district borders Pero to the north, Trenno to the west, and Lampugnano to the south. To the east, the street named after the town of Gallarate marks the natural boundary. Here you can experience a planned residential layout that combines practical public services with a carefully considered urban design.
